NYT Games launches “Year in Games”: personalized 2025 puzzle roundups
The New York Times Games team has released a “Year in Games” feature that summarizes readers’ 2025 play across its daily puzzles and word games. Users can view community stats or generate a personalized report showing activity for titles like Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee and Strands.
Personal summaries are available in the NYT iOS and Android apps and on a dedicated mobile web page. The feature highlights play trends, top answers, streaks and other fun metrics — designed for shareability and end‑of‑year reflection.
What it includes
- Individual reports detailing how often you played, best streaks and notable answers for Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee and Strands.
- Community statistics showing overall player behavior and popular puzzle moments from 2025.
- Availability through the NYT Games section in the mobile apps and a responsive web page for quick viewing and sharing.
Why these roundups matter
Yearly recaps like this tap into the same share‑friendly culture as Spotify Wrapped — they’re quick to consume, easy to share on social, and they give casual players a snapshot of their habits. For NYT Games, it’s a way to boost engagement and celebrate the community around daily puzzles.
